had my 6 for 8 years and its running on 3 pots.( engine light came on )when i checked 1 of the coils its faulty.i know this because i swapped it with the 1 next door to it and that 1 failed.that was 2 days ago.when i started the engine this morning the engine light was off and was back to running on 4 pots until the engine heated up then the engine light came back on and we were back to running on 3 again.the coil is obviously faulty? but why would it be working when cold and not hot ?anything to do with insulation?anyone had the same problem.?

Unless your ocd, my aunty replaces all 4 of her kitchen bulbs everytime 1 goes, I had to go and change one as it snapped and was stuck in the fitting. I refuawd to change all 4 saying she's wasting money, she was rather uncomfortable leaving the other 3 in place lol
